The latest clashes were between gunmen from the Sunni neighborhood of Bab Tabbaneh and the neighboring Jabal Mohsen, which is mostly populated by followers of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. The clashes that began Monday left at least a dozen people dead and dozens more wounded. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
